I come from a big family and prior to marrying I was a single mom who had kids with no money and job, so I am a *wee* biased. I have 8 sisters and 5 brothers, most of whom I grew up with. Um so that is 14 kids including me so I am not about to throw stones at this woman when my dad had 14 kids (married 5 times, my mom is 5th and final they have been married so far for 39 years, this year is their 40th).

I do think there is a big difference in having 14 kids spread out through multiple partners over a 20+ age span rather than 14 very close in age with 8 all at once. but at the end of the day 14 kids is 14 kids.

I can tell you as a kid on the tail end of my dad’s reproductive life, I value my life just as much as my older siblings value theirs. I am pretty sure all of Nadya’s 8 babies feel the same way.

Should they have been born? maybe not. Should you have been born, or anybody? maybe not. But here we all are, the never-should-have-been-borns, so everyone else will just have to deal. and there’s the rub, no one wants to have to deal with her kids, to pay for her kids, to help with her kids. Which is really, really sad, that she doesn’t seem to have a base of support, a community of family and friends publicly coming to her aid. All she has is two old and overwrought parents who are at the end of their rope physically and financially taking care of her family. Other multiple birth situations, it’s not so much the fact that there is a dad there so much as it’s the fact that they have lots of other people there, lots of friends and church members and neighbors; just a community of people willing to help.

Where is Nadya’s community? Where are her friends?

She strikes me as a very lonely woman.

There is a gulf of loneliness surrounding this woman which she is trying to fill with her family. Lots of people have children to have somebody to love and who will love them back. I think that she pretty much admitted that this was big part of her reason for having so many children frightened many people to the depths of their souls, for who wants to admit they are lonely and sick inside to this extreme?

For all her vagueness about life and plans for her children (as of right now she doesn’t even have a place to live, to bring those 8 babies to) she strikes me as being self-aware and resilient. I have a feeling Nadya will keep it moving and do what she has to do; she and her children will be all right. One thing I am very surprised at, where are all the anti-abortion folks?!? I’d have thought they’d be publicly supporting her as well as giving her money.

And where is the proof that she had surgery on her face? if not, she can’t help what she looks like, can she? so she has a very slight resemblance to Angelina jolie…so? what does that mean, I’m confused why folks always point that out like it is significant.

The porn offer is just ewwwwwww. and totally because she is a single mom, if she were married and just as broke I doubt very much they would have come at her. But in this culture so many people think single mom=whore. especially single mom of color=whore. even though she had all her babies by IVF!!

I feel for her, I really do. I’m going to vibe her and keep those children in my prayers. I do think it is a miracle her children survived and they are here for a reason. God has blessed her with these children! Here is her website: http://www.thenadyasulemanfamily.com/
